The distractions in our culture can easily cause us to lose the element of warfare in the Christian life. Endless scrolling, entertainment, world crises, personal issues, career engagement, and relational complexities can numb us to the need to “fight the good fight of the faith.”
While we need to get away, be still, and rest in Him, there is also another side to the coin; we also must stand and fight the good fight. David was both poet and warrior.
As you engage your day, by all means find grace and peace in resting and waiting upon the Lord, but don’t lay down your “sword of the spirit” and don’t neglect to “put on the full armor of God.” Like David, you are both a poet and a warrior. - Pastor Jimmy
